Hi Folks,
I have spent the last 3 days trying to get
the darned clearcoat off my '67 Safari.I knew this polishing project was a
big job,but I expected this part of it to proceed a little faster! 20 or so
hours of work,and only about 1/4 done.I must be doing something
wrong?
I have tried two different kinds of
stripper(Citra-Strip and 1850?)...I have left it on anywhere from 30 minute to
overnight.....most sections I have applied stripper to 7, 8 and even 10
times,yet some clearcoat still remains.I can tell,because those sections
looks a little "cloudy".I was using a bristle brush to scrub it with,but
it was not doing a satisfactory job.This afternoon,I got frustrated enough to
try steel wool.I used 000,super fine stuff......this was finally accomplishing
something!Problem is,I am left with lot's of fine scratches.I am hoping these
will polish out....can anyone confirm this?If they will polish out,I will
continue using this method...but I am nervous about it.
Alternatively,will that last bit of cleracoat
that I am struggling with,come off if I use the proper polish for the first
step?(I am going to be using the Nuvite products...so begin with "C",or
"G6"?)
Or is there someway of getting this stuff off
that is any easier?
Thanks!
Charlotte
